Chapter 42 An unexpected gain
Today's Jodie Foster is still a young girl, full of youthful atmosphere, and naturally cannot be as sophisticated as later generations.
At this time, Chu Xuanyu came over and said to Su Cheng with a smile in Xiangjiang dialect: "Xiao Su, I didn't expect you to be really good at picking up a girl so quickly."
Hearing the sound, Jodie Foster blushed and let go of Su Cheng.
However, hugging is very common in the UK, so in the eyes of people around you, this is just a normal scene.
"Let me introduce to you, this is one of my uncles." Su Cheng introduced Jodie Foster with a smile.
"Hello, uncle." Jodie Foster called politely.
"I'm not disturbing you young people's chat, are you?" Chu Xuanyu asked with a smile.
"That's not true. Have Uncle Chu finished chatting with his friends?" Su Cheng shook his head and asked.
"I came here to find you because the birthday banquet is about to start in half an hour. Before it starts, I plan to take you to visit the owner of this manor, Mr. Brown Ogden, the super rich man in London." Chu Xuan
Yu said.
"Okay, then I'll bother Uncle Chu." After saying that, Su Cheng said goodbye to Jodie Foster.
"This is my address and phone number during my stay in London and my phone number in this beautiful country. You must contact me when you are free. Also, on the night of the concert, you will be waiting for me at the exit. I would like to treat you to a midnight snack after the concert."
." Jodie Foster quickly wrote two phone calls and handed them to Sioux City.
"This is my business card. You can contact me if you need anything." Su Cheng smiled and took out a business card. The phone number written on it was the phone number of his Xiangjiang villa.
"I didn't expect that you are really good at picking up girls. The girl just now is so beautiful, even worse than the most popular celebrities today. Moreover, it seems that she is very fond of you." Chu Xuanyu said with a smile.
"No, it's just that we are not much different in age and have common topics." Su Cheng shook his head.
Su Cheng followed Chu Xuanyu and soon came to an independent living room.
Inside, there were middle-aged and elderly people sitting, seemingly chatting about something.
Seeing Chu Xuanyu walking in, several people also stood up. The person in charge smiled and said: "Mr. Chu, long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see. I've been a little busy lately and haven't had time to drink tea and chat with Mr. Brown Ogden." Chu Xuanyu stepped forward to shake hands with him.
After listening to the chat messages between them, and through Chu Xuanyu introducing their identities to Su Cheng in Xiangjiang dialect, Su Cheng discovered that everyone here was a business tycoon with a lot of assets, like the richest man Brown...
Ogden is worth more than a billion dollars.
This billion is not Hong Kong dollars, but pounds. In other words, if you multiply this by 9, it will be more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. If this is in Hong Kong, only the chartering king can compare with him in terms of personal assets.
.
As for the others, their lowest net worth is hundreds of millions of pounds.
Before, Su Cheng didn't know much about his Uncle Chu. Now, he found that he still seemed to underestimate this Uncle Chu.
There is too much difference in strength, and it is impossible to integrate into their circle.
At this time, Brown Ogden looked at Su Cheng and asked Chu Xuanyu with a smile: "Is this your junior?"
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. I am the chairman of the Hong Kong Su Group and the major shareholder of the Hong Kong Wharf Group. I am also the junior of Uncle Chu Xuanyu." Su Cheng introduced himself politely.
"I know Wharf. Isn't this a listed company controlled by Jardine Matheson Group? How come you became the major shareholder of Wharf?" Brown Ogden asked in surprise.
Jardine Matheson Group is also very famous in the UK. After all, they are large enterprises controlled by British-funded consortiums.
"I know this. Some time ago, there was a press release in the financial news saying that the position of the major shareholder of Wharf, owned by Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong, was taken away by an unknown company called Tianyuan Investment Company. I heard that it would also compete with Jardine.
Could it be that you are the manipulator behind Wharf's seizure of controlling stake?" A big boss said in surprise.
The connection between Hong Kong and the United Kingdom is very close, so if anything big happens in Hong Kong, it will be reported to London.
As for the Su Group, its scale is not bad in Hong Kong, but from an international perspective, it is just an unknown company, so they simply ignored the identity of the chairman of the Su Group in Su City.
Big bosses like to read newspapers and pay attention to international events, so it is normal to know what happened in Wharf.
"Yes, it's me." Su Cheng admitted with a smile.
If you want to be respected by these people, you have to show your strength. Otherwise, others will just treat you as a junior and be polite to you on the surface, but then they will not recognize you.
Therefore, Su Cheng simply showed some strength.
"Mr. Su is really young and promising. I'm disrespectful." Brown Ogden took the initiative to shake hands with Su Cheng and praised him.
Being able to create such a record at such a young age really has to impress them.
Everyone here has not worked hard for most of his life to achieve what he is today!
As for those consortiums that rely on the joint development of many businessmen, even if they are all-powerful in business, they are not worthy of their admiration.
A person fighting alone is better than a gang of you fighting each other. Anyone with a discerning eye will know which one is more powerful.
"Fortunately, the world is full of opportunities. Everyone has a chance to succeed. I just happened to find my own way of development." Su Cheng said modestly.
After getting to know each other, they started chatting about business matters.
Su Cheng didn't interrupt much. After all, he and they didn't know each other well, so it was impossible to talk about so many things.
"Speaking of which, I also own 6.4% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares in Hong Kong Enterprises. I have been wanting to sell them over the years, but the stock price is too low and it is difficult to find a successor." Brown Ogden sighed.

Everyone was chatting, and because of the appearance of Su Cheng, they went to Xiangjiang.
Since the future of Xiangjiang is subject to negotiations, it is really confusing and there are too many uncertainties. Therefore, many British-funded consortia or individual investors have chosen to withdraw from Xiangjiang in order to reduce risks.
Brown Ogden also has this idea, because he wants to withdraw his funds and focus on investing in Europe. However, it is not easy to sell the Hutchison Whampoa stocks in his hands. Find a British-funded consortium. If they are not interested, find a Chinese-funded consortium.
They may not be able to afford so much money.
At this time, Su City's eyes lit up when he heard Brown Ogden's words. This was a good opportunity to increase Hutchison Whampoa's stock!
6.4% of the stocks are actually not that small. Among the shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa, it is already ranked among the top five.
If you get these 6.4% of the stocks, plus the stocks you own and the preliminary stock transfer agreement with Huifeng Bank, it will already exceed 50%.
In other words, when he can officially announce the cooperation with Huifeng Bank, he has already absolutely controlled Hutchison Whampoa.
Chapter completed!
